Retro-Bit has made plenty of licensed cartridges and multi-carts so far. This time around we will be looking at the upcoming Holy Diver and R-Type Returns Collector’s Editions that are now up for pre-order. These are set to release in this month of August, so if you like what you see, act now. The very real fact is that only 2900 are being produced, so make certain that if these games are up your alley that they end up on your shelf!

Unboxing the Collector’s Edition:

Holy Diver Description:

‘Do you have what it takes to find the Five Crimson Emblem Seals to defeat the Black Slayer? The Holy Diver cartridge has been resurrected, nearly 30 years after its original release in Japan. Published by Retro-Bit®, the Holy Diver Collector’s Edition is loaded with exclusive collectibles and available for a limited time only.’

R-Type Returns Description:

‘Defend humanity against the power of the evil BYDO Empire in the classic intergalactic shooters in the R-Type III & Super R-Type Collector’s Edition. Published by Retro-Bit®, this bundle is loaded with exclusive collectibles and available for a limited time only.’

Overall Thoughts:

These products are definitely high quality. What I love the most about these is that they’re of a better quality than we would’ve gotten back in the olden days of releases. And even better than that, they’re selling them for the cost of an average game from back then. If you can believe it, there were very limited edition or collector’s editions games back then as well. There certainly were very few multicarts as well back then. I’m proud to have these 2 Collector’s Editions in my collection now. I can’t find much use for something like the notebooks, obviously, but even without those notebooks, the value is still tremendous. With beautiful artwork from OtaKing on R-Type and collaboration with companies such as Figpin, this collection is just not to be missed. If I were reviewing these against other Collector’s Editions, these would score an easy 10/10. I just believe that these are some jaw dropping beauties and if you’re still reading this, you should stop because you’re going to miss your opportunity to get one of the only 2,900 that exist globally!
